I think I can, I think I can...

Day 4


Last night was torture, pure torture.  I was so hungry. And of course the more I thought about it, the more torture it was.  It was as if each one of those thin, crunchy bread sticks were calling my name, begging me to eat them.  I ended up eating another apple microwaved with cinnamon and stevia.  From now on, however, I will be making this a protein choice rather than a fruit.  I have also decided that the grissini needs to be removed from my house as all I want to do is eat the entire package.  Evil little, long skinny bastards...


I woke up this morning to a nearly three pound loss...  2.6 pounds.  Yay.  Now I know this has to be a lot of water weight and lack of the fountains of Coke I had been drinking in the past several weeks but nonetheless I am more than encouraged.


I went in this morning for my weekly shots of ALA, B and D.  They always make me feel great and give me tons of energy.  I spoke to the diet coach and we have added a half dose of phentermine to my regime as well.  This should help control my out of control appetite.  It has done wonders for me in the past without HCG.


I made some meals today in advance so I have some stuff ready.  Lunch was baked cod with cucumber slices.  Delicious I must say and a totally doable meal even for a regular diet.  


I still miss my coffee but it isn't like I am giving it up forever... that gives me peace of mind.  And honestly there is something nice about a hot cup of tea.


Tonight is dinner at the place that prepares the HCG meals for those who choose to pay the money to have all of their meals prepared for them daily.  I chose not to do this route for economical reasons plus I like to cook my own things.  But I will say it is a real relief to know I can go to a restaurant and have a meal that is 100% within the protocol for this program.  


Still waiting to hear if I can take my daily cranberry pills on this program though... I hope so.  If not and I should happen to get a UTI, well at least that would make for some interesting posts in this blog and would also switch it from PG to R in no time flat. At the very least, I should be able to add them back in on Phase 3 though so lets just cross our fingers for the next 36 days .  :)


Project:  learn how to boil an egg.  As much of a gourmet chef I consider myself, this task has eluded me.
